Archbishop José H. Gomez calls on all Catholics to honor the Patroness of Los Angeles, saying: “this beautiful celebration reminds us that our modern, secularized city – which plays such a big role in shaping opinions, fashions and culture – is dedicated to the angels and the Mother of Jesus, who is the Queen of all the Angels in heaven. We can never forget that Los Angeles – and all of California and the Americas – are built on a Christian foundation.” More on this here.
